4 Indians you didn't know are part of Lord's Honors Board

#3 Venkatesh Prasad

Venkatesh Prasad

A lanky pacer from Bangalore, Venkatesh Prasad was the central figure in the Indian bowling line-up in the 90s. With umpteen abilities up his sleeve, Prasad brought up a fair dose of phenomenal performances under helpful conditions abroad.

However, with the advent of Zaheer Khan, Prasad had to part his ways from the Indian team. Post-retirement, Venkatesh served as the bowling coach of the Indian team and was known to have groomed talents like Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar.

The Lord's Test between India and England in 1996 was exceptional in so many ways: Ganguly and Dravid's Test debut and Venkatesh Prasad's 5-wicket haul. With the figures reading as 5 for 76, Venkatesh became the first Indian to have his name on the Lord's Honors Board after a gap of ten years.

Venkatesh starred in 33 Tests and scalped 96 wickets at an average of 35.00 and a strike-rate of 73.30 with the best bowling figures being 6 for 33.
